A To Do List for Google Chrome Team

September 13th, 2008 · 13 Comments · google

Or, a collection of issues reported abour Google Chrome, plus features that we need in the next release.

1. We need the option for adding new themes and plugins. Plugins and themes can get you more guys addicted to Chrome, more developers will be attracted and there will be more activity related to the browser.

2. We may accidently click close, and loose all tabs that we had open. Chrome is not asking for a confirmation before it closes multiple tabs, we really want it to ask us before closing everything together.

3. Editing css style sheets with Google Chrome is not possible.

4. No option to go to an offline mode.

5. Autofil not working as expected.

If you find an issues that needs a fix, or feature that you expect in the next update/release, post it here. A big thanks to all those who commented / emailed with their input. ( Philip , Chirag Chamoli , Rekha , and xylene )

Also, Why can’t I open sites like PVRcinemas.com?
It opens fine in other browsers.

The code for Chrome is open for developers to work on. But its not easy convincing people to write plug ins for a company as big as Google.

People like to get associated with smaller companies like Mozilla cos there is greater fun in being associated with a underdog than a giant like Google.

@ Philip

we should give it some more time .. it depends on the userbase, you have more firefox users, so are developers.. when chrome gets more users, they will start working for chrome too

One thing that I want in my browser and google chrome does not have is add-ons/plugins. I can live without themes but plugin are must. Google should do something about it.
